In Turkey’s high-end market, in addition to Chinese brands with outstanding price-performance ratios, customers can also pay attention to a number of reputable and technologically advanced international manufacturers – such as Germany’s ABUS and the U.S.’s GH Crane, etc.; if you want to know more about the top bridge crane suppliers, you can refer to the article 'Top 10 Overhead Crane Manufacturers in the World'.

Local Sourcing vs Overseas Import

Recommendations for selection

• Conventional projects: give priority to local suppliers (e.g. Simer Sac) to shorten the delivery cycle and reduce communication costs.

• large/specialised projects: choose Chinese head brands (e.g. Weihua, Mining Crane), taking into account the technical performance and cost advantages.

• High-end demand: consider ABUS from Germany or GH Cranes from the U.S. to ensure precision and long-term reliability.

Turkish market data show that Chinese brands have become the preferred choice for local imports due to their high cost performance and gradually improved after-sales service. Customers are advised to evaluate suppliers’ qualifications and cases according to the project scale, budget and technical requirements, and give priority to international brands providing localised services or local companies with mature technologies.
